serial_crusher:Eh, calling them peasants and bragging about how rich you are is probably going to just get you some eye rolls. I'd say punching a cop is where this guy's big mistake was...

THIS. Got to work with LEO on campus for a lot of stuff and it was easy to blow off the drunken bravado of the students. However, if the situation got physical then all bets were off, and there would be no sympathy from the local PD.

I remember one guy playing the "my fraternity has money..." speech to an officer as he was being arrested. The officer countered with, "that's awesome. My fraternity has arrest powers when you take a swing at us. Let's see who wins..."

Police previously broke up a gang-style fight between two fraternities in Tempe last month. One man was severely beaten in that incident.

I don't know if a fraternity fight could equate to a gang-style fight... Turn off the lights of your Beamer and roll down the windows. Slowly creep up to their house and yell "YOUR DAD IS ONLY A JUNIOR EXECUTIVE AT LEHMAN BROTHERS!" isn't quite the same as a drive-by shooting.

Mitch: (On phone) Hey, dude, what's up?Frat Guy: Yo, Neil, is that you?Mitch: Yeah, it's me...Neil!Frat Guy: Hey, it's Jason, man. We just got back from laying a beating on these guys. I mean, we messed them up good. And the whole time, this guy's just lying there, crying like a little girl! Hold on, I'll get Terry.Mitch: No don't get Terry! I mean, look, the reason I'm calling is this - there's all these guys going around to the different frat houses pretending to be cops, but they're not real cops. They're fake cops. They just robbed a bunch of stuff from the delta psi house. So don't be fooled, OK?Frat Guy: Sure thing, dude. thanks for calling.Mitch: OK, no problem there, dude. Now, uh, you go back to doing something latently homoerotic, all right? (Hangs up)
